TALK THERAPY TARGETS STOMACH PAIN: STUDY TESTS CBT FOR GASTROPARESIS
NCT ID NCT03531450
First seen May 28, 2026 · Last updated May 29, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study at Massachusetts General Hospital tested whether cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can reduce symptoms of gastroparesis, a condition where the stomach empties slowly, causing nausea, vomiting, and pain. Twenty-seven adults with idiopathic gastroparesis received CBT and were evaluated with brain scans and stomach tests before and after treatment. The goal was to see if CBT improves symptoms and quality of life, which could lead to better non-drug treatments.
